Chapter 26: Trying Something New (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Zhang Kang took a deep drag and exhaled a white ring of smoke.

He looked at Yu Hua: "What are your thoughts on the upcoming battle?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua looked at Zhang Kang with excitement.

This was asking for his opinion; he threw away the cigarette in his hand.

"Company Commander..."

Yu Hua was very agitated; after the morning's battle, he had truly figured out a few tricks.

Trench warfare also had new ways to be played.

"I now want to request the Regimental Commander to transfer these two hundred pistols to our 1st Battalion!"

"Plant the Imperial Army's Plaster Flag!"

In a great mood, Zhang Kang threw down his cigarette and went to the rear to find Xiang Wenbin.

Zhang Kang arrived at the Regiment Headquarters.

"I knew you would have a way."

Xiang Wenbin was also extremely furious at this moment!

Over a hundred men had been lost just to consolidate the Dunwu Temple Position.

"I will absolutely not let you down tomorrow."

"This new trick is worth playing."

This was also one of the reasons why Platoon Leader Yu was able to shine so brightly at the Group Army Headquarters.

"The Dunwu Temple Position has not been taken yet!"

"Withdraw the other forces?"

"However, this method can only be used once."

Yu Hua's method was excellent; if executed well, it would be enough to give the little devils a hard time.

"I have no intention of interfering with your command."

The 2nd Regiment of the 402nd Brigade had already moved up, preparing to capture the Dunwu Temple Right Wing Position.

"Let's do it this way!"

"However, their combat effectiveness does not look like a Local Army at all."

Akiyama Yoshiyuki's gaze fell upon Hashimoto Ryuji, "Hashimoto-kun!"

Japanese Army 6th Brigade Headquarters.

"When killing a chicken, one also needs to use an ox cleaver."

How could Xiang Wenbin not be angry? His 1st Regiment had expended a great deal of effort.

"The opponent is another unit that has just been committed to battle."

Akiyama Yoshiyuki waved his hand, "Speak!"

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

"For your sake, I will allocate a full-strength battalion to Fujita."

Then!

Looking at Zhang Kang's expectant eyes, Yu Hua took a deep breath.

"As one side wanes and the other waxes, it is understandable that the Fujita Battalion's attack failed."

"These friendly forces are truly pathetic!"

"Damn it!"

Immediately, Yu Hua whispered softly into Zhang Kang's ear.

"During wartime, the entire brigade must obey my orders."

The entire brigade headquarters was now plunged into silence.

At this moment, Akiyama Yoshiyuki was roaring madly: "Baka!"

"Sometimes, even ants can bite an elephant to death."

Zhang Kang stood at attention: "Regimental Commander, you can rest assured!"

"You mean..." He looked at Hashimoto Ryuji, "wanting to take the Dunwu Temple Position."

"Guard... go and arrest Fujita for me, execute him immediately!"

"In my 6th Brigade, my order is the final command."

Hashimoto Ryuji came before Akiyama Yoshiyuki!

The other brigade was under the command of Major General Ide Nobutoki.

Zhang Kang exhaled a white ring of smoke and patted Yu Hua on the shoulder with a smile: "Good lad!"

He explained the tactical method.

At the doorway, seeing Akiyama Yoshiyuki give the order, Hashimoto Ryuji hurriedly said: "Wait a moment!"

Xiang Wenbin's eyes narrowed, "Tell me about it."

"Even though the Fujita Battalion has been replenished with a batch of troops, the numbers are still too low."

After the 18th Brigade under Ide Nobutoki reported their battle results, Akiyama Yoshiyuki was very furious.

Xiang Wenbin at this moment!

"Concentrate all the pistols of the regiment."

"I'm going to find the Regimental Commander right now!"

If the 2nd Regiment could not take the Dunwu Temple Right Wing Position.

Akiyama Yoshiyuki had just received a call from Division Commander Yoshizumi Ryosuke.

"Hand it over to your Battalion to use."

"At the same time, the Brigade's Mountain and Field Artillery Company must also provide fire support."

Ensure the safety of the 1st Regiment, otherwise the 1st Regiment's defensive line will be torn apart by the devils.

"I hope that by tomorrow morning, you will be at the Dunwu Temple Position."

Right now, the two brigades are also competing against each other!

"Hurry up and speak, so that our brothers can suffer fewer casualties in the upcoming battle."

Akiyama Yoshiyuki lowered his head, his gaze fixed tightly on Dunwu Temple.

The Sixth Brigade and the 18th Brigade are both elite units of the 9th Division.

"In a moment, my Guard will go with you to deliver the order."

"It is no wonder that you were abroad and studied under instructors from the British Isles!"

"I will have to whip you!"

While looking at the map, the Dunwu Temple Right Wing Position was taken by the devils.

The 1st Regiment is now in great danger, having taken the position with such hard work.

"What kind of tricks are you up to again?"

"Even if you are from the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, sent down to supervise the battle."

This is also news that just came from the Brigade Headquarters.

"Let me tell you, if you kid don't fight well."

"Plus the Imperial Army has been fighting for days, and the Fujita Battalion has never been at full strength."

Hearing this, Akiyama Yoshiyuki pondered for a moment.

Seeing Zhang Kang open his mouth to ask for a pistol, Xiang Wenbin suddenly became interested.

A tiny Dunwu Temple has now actually blocked his brigade for two days.

"This is my brigade."

This truly made Akiyama Yoshiyuki very angry.

"Your Battalion!"

"Hehe... you kid really is a talent, damn it!"

"With one round of shelling and one charge from the devils, the position was lost."

Even a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

If it is lost because of a friendly unit's mistake.

Hashimoto Ryuji lowered his head: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

"I have no use for you as a chamber pot."

"Must my 6th Infantry Brigade launch an all-out attack?"

Yoshizumi Ryosuke questioned Akiyama Yoshiyuki as to why the Dunwu Temple Position had not yet been taken.

"Company Commander!"

They also know that Yu Hua specifically received military education overseas and followed officers from the British Isles to learn.

Hashimoto Ryuji nodded and bowed, "Brigade Commander, please rest assured."

In recent days, the Sichuan Army soldiers of the 1st Regiment have all known that Yu Hua is not just a talent who returned from being an Overseas Chinese.

"Yesterday, I also underestimated this army."

They have successfully captured the Dunwu Temple Right Wing Position.

"The opposing commander is quite methodical in defensive warfare!"

"If our battalion doesn't fight well, I will twist off my own head."

"And give it to you as a chamber pot!"

"After using it once, the devils will know, and it won't work a second time."

"These are all Old Soldiers I brought out from Chuan Province!"

"I want to save as many as I can!"

"I hope Your Excellency Brigade Commander can allocate a full-strength battalion to Fujita."

"The Republic of China Army opposite, although they are a Local Army."

Facing Akiyama Yoshiyuki's dissatisfied words, Hashimoto Ryuji lowered his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kang's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"Regimental Commander!"

"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Yosh!" Akiyama Yoshiyuki raised his head, "Hashimoto-kun!"

The Fujita Battalion has failed in its repeated attacks.

Xiang Wenbin waved his hand, "Get lost."

"Our entire regiment has two hundred pistols in total."

"Don't hem and haw."

"Our 6th Brigade has already fallen behind the 18th Brigade."

"If we want to handle the upcoming battle, I actually do have a way."

"I just wanted to say a few words for Fujita-kun."

The more Xiang Wenbin heard, the more excited he became, grinning: "Good!"

Hashimoto Ryuji waved his hand, "Your Excellency Brigade Commander!"

Very quickly, Zhang Kang explained Yu Hua's method to Xiang Wenbin.

Inside the Brigade Regiment Headquarters, the rest of the devils heard Hashimoto say this.

One by one, they also shouted slogans of "Long live the Emperor, long live the Imperial Army."
